EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of an itinerant coffee vendor in Istanbul, Turkey. The elderly man, dressed in a simple tunic and wearing a felt hat, is shown carrying a traditional yoke, or "kazan tasi," balanced on his shoulders. Two large buckets, each hanging from one end of the yoke, contain the tools of his trade - a coffee grinder, a pot for brewing, and a heater to keep the coffee warm. The scene unfolds in the grounds of a marble factory, as evidenced by the large statue visible in the background. The itinerant coffee vendor's life is one of hard labor and perseverance. He lifts the heavy yoke onto his back each day, braving the weight and strain as he makes his way through the bustling streets of Istanbul, offering hot, fresh coffee to passersby. The struggle is evident in his furrowed brow and the set of his shoulders, but his determination is unwavering. This image is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions that continue to thrive in Istanbul. Coffee, which was first brought to Turkey in the 16th century, has long been a cherished part of Turkish culture. The itinerant coffee vendors, or "kahveci," have played an essential role in preserving this tradition, bringing the aroma and warmth of freshly brewed coffee to the people. Despite the challenges of modernization and the encroachment of commercial coffee shops, the itinerant coffee vendors continue to ply their trade, carrying on the legacy of their forebears. This photograph offers a glimpse into a piece of Turkish history, capturing the essence of a time-honored tradition and the resilience of those who keep it alive.
